The School's Strategic Plan (Click to view)

Increasingly over the past 50 years organizational theorists – from festinger in 1957 to Senge, 1990 –

 have insisted that “alignment” of the key components of the organisation, including its mission, vision, 

values, strategy, structure, systems, and especially the minds and hearts of its people, must be in place 

for maximum performance.

We would suggest that professional high quality staff will underpin all improvements concepts particularly 

learning outcomes and sustainable change. The focus should therefore be on professional knowledge, 

practice and leadership.

As a School Board and Council ,we believe that:

Conscious organisations are those that possess a clear vision, manifest that vision through highly integrated 

systems and hold their people accountable for the effective use of those systems.  Such organisations demonstrate 

a high sense of purpose, order, integrity and meaning.  They also have a high sense of satisfaction among the people 

who work for them.

Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world.
